Should I wet my hair everyday?

There is no need to wet your hair daily. Depending on your scalp and hair nature, you may wash it frequently. If you have oily or greasy hair then you may wash your hair more frequently when compared to normal scalp.

I've been swimming a lot recently, and I've noticed my skin has really darkened from the chlorine in the pool water. What can I do to get my fair skin tone back? Also, how can I prevent this darkening from happening in the future when I swim?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

I'm experiencing some serious issues with my skin whenever I eat chicken, oily foods, milk products, and sweets. Lately, it's been getting worse, and I'm dealing with really large boils, often multiple at a time that are filled with pus. I used to take Minoz OD tablets before because a dermatologist recommended them, but I'm hoping to find something more affordable. Can you suggest any cheaper medicines that might help?

My friend's leg accidentally got burned yesterday when it touched the hot silencer of a scooter. The burn is really painful, and it's turned into a dark brown color with a bubble-like swelling. We're really concerned and wondering what the best steps would be to take care of it. Any advice on how to treat this burn and reduce the pain and swelling?

Immediate Care* 1. *Cool the burn*: Run cool tap water over the burn for 10-15 minutes or apply a cool, wet compress. 2. *Remove clothing and jewelry*: Gently remove any clothing or jewelry near the burned area, as these can stick to the burn and cause further damage. *Wound Care* 1. *Apply topical antibiotic ointment*: Use an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to help prevent infection. 2. *Cover the burn*: Cover the burn with a non-stick, sterile bandage or dressing to protect it from further irritation and infection. *Pain Management* 1. *Over-the-counter pain medication*: Use over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and reduce inflammation. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe burns*: If the burn is severe (covers a large area, is deep, or has penetrated through multiple layers of skin), seek immediate medical attention. 2. *Infection signs*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pus, or a foul odor. If you notice any of these symptoms, seek medical attention. 3. *Difficulty moving*: If your friend is experiencing difficulty moving the affected area or is experiencing numbness or tingling, seek medical attention.
